# Event Details - **Event Name**: Egypt Cookbook Launch and Mezze Spread at The Cookbook Shop - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Suzanne Zeidy and Rawah Badrawi discuss their new book, Egypt: Recipes and Stories from an Ancient Land, with local author Caroline EdenAbout this EventZeidy and Badrawi have travelled to the far corners of Egypt – from the Nile Valley to the Mediterranean Coast, across deserts and mountain ranges – to discover the diversity of its food, culture and people, including communities that speak a language other than Egypt’s native Arabic, like the Siwans in the Sahara or the Nubians in Upper Egypt. “Since recipes are handed down through generations by mouth, many are disappearing forever,” says Zeidy. “We set out with a mission to explore and preserve these precious traditions.”“Conventional travel in this country generally focuses on the Ancient Egyptian civilisation,” Badrawi adds. “But the most profound way of getting to know people is by seeing how they cook and what they eat, so there is something for everyone in this book.”--Nada El Sawy for Conde Nast TravellerWe're thrilled to announce that the authors of this remarkable new book, which fills a longstanding gap among English-language cookbooks, will be sharing their experiences travelling through Egypt, learning about its historic and contemporary foodways, and presenting them in this stunningly comprehensive tome.Joining them in conversation will be Edinburgh local Caroline Eden, a multi-award-winning writer, literary critic, and author of much-loved food/travel writing gems Cold Kitchen and Red Sands.The talk will be followed by a book signing and Q&A, as well as a dazzling mezze spread prepared by Suzanne and Rawah. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/029e6180-a58a-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w601-h740-dce8d8b8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/02b82b10-a58a-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w493-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/02c857b0-a58a-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w565-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/egypt-cookbook-launch-and-mezze-spread-at-the-cookbook-shop/100001999089410240 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 12.85, max: 55, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Cookbook Shop - **lat**: 55.9602751 - **long**: -3.1826651 - **full address**: The Cookbook Shop, 19A Leith Walk, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Egypt Cookbook Launch and Mezze Spread at The Cookbook Shop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/1c4cae1d5e933bd7846c4f6fb73527db750f9672be9d474b5b54a2b7e41aafc8-rimg-w1200-h743-dcc8c888-gmir.jpg?v=1788214767 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Egypt Cookbook Launch and Mezze Spread at The Cookbook Shop being held? - **A:** Egypt Cookbook Launch and Mezze Spread at The Cookbook Shop takes place on Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Cookbook Shop, 19A Leith Walk, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Egypt Cookbook Launch and Mezze Spread at The Cookbook Shop? - **A:** Egypt Cookbook Launch and Mezze Spread at The Cookbook Shop is organized by The Cookbook Shop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
